The driver of the truck left the scene of the crash. Originally deputies thought the truck was white but later learned it is red.

Waldorff said just hours before the crash Kelly had used a car to pick up his daughter from a school dance. After taking her home, he returned the car and was driving his motorcycle when the crash happened.

Bartow lawyer John Liguori, who is representing the truck's owners, contacted officials the next day and turned it over to the Sheriff's Office.

Liguori said he and his clients think the motorcycle struck the back of the truck.

But Scott Wilder, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office, said the details of how the crash happened are still under investigation.
